Avocado Cultivation with Smart Irrigation Systems

The annual amount of water required by avocado trees is at levels of 600-700 mm. The irrigation amount and irrigation interval should be watered enough to wet the root zone every 7-10 days depending on the size of the tree, climate, and soil characteristics, and excessive irrigation should be avoided.

In determining the irrigation time, the start and end times of effective rains in the region are very important. The most irrigation should be done in July and August, which are the hottest months of the year. During these months, saplings and trees should not be left without water. If left without water, severe fruit drops occur.

Thanks to smart irrigation systems, because we provide water frequently in small amounts and thanks to the smart sensors we use, the balance of water, air, and fertilizer in the soil is easily adjusted. By keeping the water status in the soil at the level required by the plant, we protect our avocado plant, which is affected by stresses such as excess water, insufficient water, excessive fertilizer, etc. This process increases both yield and product quality.
